pre season of course all of those youngsters will have chances to play....come real fixture be ready to see all of them freeze on the bench or even reserve...if they r lucky they get to be on loan to other team....sad to say but thats our chelsea year in year out...now Oscar coming in as Lampard successor....mceachren can GG aready...
the kids good...but after watching him...hes not too good compared to our josh....prolly he gets exposure earlier bcoz he is in a smaller team ang get notice earlier by playing more games...of course when u play week in week out u gain experience, composure and maturity...now the media have put attention of course hes going to feel much more confident....i think josh can pull off the same thing to had he risen up from say west ham or aston villa....he might even worth 15mil++ n get bid by top 4 epl clubs....just that hes stuck at chelsea atm are hampering his growth and tremendous potential....
willian is just overhyped to me...watch lots of his play nvr realy impress me...his club oso expect blockbuster fee for him...wont happen i guess....just a squad rotation material...not 1st team
Early sleep for me! haha Hazard is pure magic! Is it me or his playing style is like Messi??
dat solo goal of his....a sudden burst of speed from the left side, middle of the park....beat his marker....thats why we pay top money for him....definitely worth it...marko marin seems to be a bargain as well....
hazard playing no 10 role match with psg....had a relatively quiet game....ayam dissapoint....some football watchers have tip marin to shine and even overtake hazard in the real season...
only torres and sturridge as striker this new season with so many matches and competition? hope hazard, moses could fill that spot as well in an emergency..
kidding? u just not going to give chance to our youngster?
bale is already considered wonderkid at very young age...plus hes speed is incredible summore... bertrand would be decent backup to a cole in 2-3 years time...
mikel is doing okay this game...its mata, hazard that dissappoint us alot in the final 3rd...torres is good but he is not drogba unable to hold up ball upfront to retain our attacking position...
were gonna have to scrape off wins in our 1st 3 league games....all our purchases havent been trained long enough together to develop good chemistry... wish marin is fit he could ve done something being a late sub... btw good work by bertrand n sturridge, after subs our final 3rd look a bit better...
Sam Hutchinson is a ready replacement, what happen to our pursuit of Cesar Azpilicueta?
Mikel & Lampard could be the key for this season, hopefully they can regain the Munich form when both played brilliantly. We will score goal because of them, we also concede because of them.
Btw, i noticed that for Yaya Toure & Tevez's goal, Cech was a bit off position. very unlike him.
prolly we should get Schweinsteiger as Mikel replacement...dat would be massive! ;o
good news is...dat only 1 of our new signing play last night....meaning all our other new arrival haven't have the opportunity to showcase their ability....this is still infact almost 95% of chelsea last season... lets hope for oscar, marin, moses, azpilicueta arrival to shake things up at chelsea later...
We're still lacking of flair. Everytime when our opponents start to defend, we just couldn't find a way to crack their wall......

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is ready to return to Bayer Leverkusen with an offer in excess of £20m for their talented German striker Andre Schurrle.
The Blues were spurned by the Bundesliga side earlier this summer when their £16m bid for Schurrle was rejected by the club. The 21 year old has established himself as one of the most exciting talents in Germany after securing his move to Leverkusen at the end of last season from Mainz. The young star also featured in Joachim Loew’s squad for the Euros 2012 and started against Greece in the quarter finals. Schurrle has already been capped 17 times for Germany and has scored 7 times for the Mannschaft.
The versatile youngster who can play centrally as well out wide is believed to be keen on a move to the Stamford Bridge but the German side aren’t willing to part with him.
‘The matter is over and I have told Andre so,’ said Voller, Director of football at Bayer.
Roberto Di Matteo isn’t sure about Fernando Torres’ present form and with the absence of any top striker in the squad barring the Spaniard, he wants to bring in Schurrle to put ample pressure on Torres for a spot in the starting line up.
why would we need schurrle/schurle when we already have a very good back up striker in sturridge? :/ beside hazard, moses should be able to fill those spot should emergency occur if torres n sturridge out due to injury...piazon also already promoted to subs list...
i dont think a 21 years old with so much potential will want to come to our club as a sub or to push a side to play right side as what we have done to danny...
i think that we need a true right-side winger with the ability to step up as forward when torres/danny is injury, not the other way around.
OR, it could be that danny boy wont renew his contract with us .... aside from dat i dont see any reason to sign schurrle.... danny boy still only left a year out of his contract rite?
